Description
The Explorers: A Collection of Stories from Australia's Frontier
This collection of sixty-seven accounts brings to life the epic saga of Australia's conquest and settlement. From the early expeditions of Dutch captain Willem Janz in 1606, to Robyn Davidson's infamous camelback ride through the Outback deserts in 1977, these stories convey the sense of wonder and discovery that defined the exploration of this last continent to be fully mapped by Europeans.
Editor Tim Flannery has curated a selection of accounts that reveal both the human dimensions of struggle and deprivation, as well as the heroic enterprise of those who ventured into this unforgiving land. With its unique blend of adventure, history, and cultural insight, The Explorers offers a fascinating glimpse into Australia's complex past.
